Cooking and Entertaining: Whipped Cream Pound Cake

Whipped Cream Pound Cake

When I was growing up, we had dessert on Saturday nights,
and though my mom was a baker, we often had purchased desserts like ice cream,
fresh doughnuts and Sara Lee pound cake.That said, I’ve always loved pound cake and was blown away by this
recipe- it’s so good and easy to prepare.My mom first made it when I was a teenager, and I’ve been making it for
my family for years.

This recipe is unique because whipped cream is used in place
of butter; the sugar is mixed into the dry ingredients, rather than the fat;
and instead of dusting the pan with butter and flour, it’s dusted with butter and
sugar, which produces slightly caramelized edges.In this case, I used a pan liner instead of sugar dusting the
pan.Both methods produce an
excellent cake. I often serve this cake with strawberries and whipped cream, but it's delicious on its own!Bon Appétit!
